If you are anything like me, you would not like to hear that there is only 51 days left before Christmas. I find this time of the year a big mad rush to get ready for the holiday season (and Christmas of course). There is some kind of magic and excitement about this time of the year though and I secretly like it, I think. :)
I'm here to share my first Christmas layout with you. We are all getting into the festive spirit this month over at
Handmade by Suzanne and the DT will be loading all their Christmas projects into the gallery throughout November. So, if you are looking for some inspiration, don't forget to pop into the
HBS gallery during November.
I got to work with the gorgeous
Simple Stories '25 Days to Christmas' collection. It's a beautiful range and I just love the touches of black in it.
I've used some
Prima flowers and some
Kaisercraft Mini Paper blooms for my clusters. The leaves are from
Prima too and I just love the sparkle on them. :)
The title was made using BG mini alpha stickers and the spotty alphas are from the
Simple Stories alpha sheet. Some more Prima yumminess too.
I've stitched the string for my baubles using embroidery thread and gave the baubles a 'lift' with some foam tape. Oh, and I've used my
Crafter's Workshop 'Mini Circle Grid' template with some Glimmer Mist to create the spotted background behind my top photo.
If you're not a subscriber to the
Handmade by Suzanne newsletter, then you would've missed out on getting all the news for November. You can read the newsletter
here. You will also find this gorgeous sketch created by Shell in there. Why not give it a go? You can win an awesome $30 voucher to spend in the store, just for participating. The winner get determined by random draw. I'll be back soon with my take on it. :)
That's all for today. I hope you have a great weekend planned! Thank you for visiting and for the lovely comments you leave. I love reading them. :)
Until next time.
